I think these two command chains should work: "mkisofs -opt1 -opt2 -optN /files/for/burning | \ ssh desktop cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -driveropts=burnfree -" <---for CDs "mkisofs -opt1 -opt2 -optN /files/for/burning | \ ssh desktop growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/fd/0" <---for DVDs If you decide to try the above commands, please, do it with *RW media* first, because I haven't tested them. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
